A Few Still Later Words On Translating Homer, Or C. S. Calverley And The Victorian Parodic, Patrick G. Scott

Faculty Publications

Argues (largely in the style of Matthew Arnold) that the Victorian verse parodist C.S. Calverley can best be understood through 19th century ideas of verse translation, and especially through the writing on parody of the Scottish lawyer Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee, in his Essay on the Principles of Translation (1792).

A Mathematical Model For The Initial Corrosion Rate Of A Porous Layer On A Rotating Disk Electrode, William E. Ryan, Ralph E. White, S. L. Kelly

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for the initial corrosion rate of a porous layer on a rotating disk electrode. The model is used to predict the corrosion potential and corrosion current density for a porous electrode made of pure iron in aerated caustic solutions. The dependence of these predictions on some of the properties of the porous layer is presented. It is shown that the corrosion rate depends significantly on the specific surface area of the porous electrode.

Class Groups Of Quadratic Fields Ii, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A computation has been made of the noncyclic class groups of imaginary quadratic fields Q(√-D) for even and odd discriminants - D from 0 to - 25000000. Among the results are that 95% of the class groups are cyclic, and that -11203620 and -18397407 are the first discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields for which the class group has rank three in the 5-Sylow subgroup. The latter was known to be of rank three; this computation demonstrates that it is the first odd discriminant of 5-rank three or more.

Studies in Scottish Literature

Provides the first full text of Carlyle's letter on 24 March 1834 from Craigenputtoch in Scotland to a friend in London who was house-hunting for him, asking questions about the "housekin" she had found for the Carlyles in Kensington, describing what he needed in a house, and expressing his forebodings about the move. They missed getting that house, but the same friend helped them find their house in Chelsea after they had moved.

Large Deviations For Processes With Independent Increments, James Lynch, Jayaram Sethuraman

Faculty Publications

Let X be a topological space and F denote the Borel σ-field in X. A family of probability measures {Pλ} is said to obey the large deviation principle (LDP) with rate function I(⋅) if Pλ(A) can be suitably approximated by exp{−λinfx∈AI(x)} for appropriate sets A in F. Here the LDP is studied for probability measures induced by stochastic processes with stationary and independent increments which have no Gaussian component. It is assumed that the moment generating function of the increments exists and thus the sample paths of such stochastic processes lie in the space of functions of bounded variation. The …

The Effect Of The Tribromide Complex Reaction On The Oxidation/Reduction Current Of The Br2/Br– Electrode, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S. E. Lorimer

Faculty Publications

The Br₂/Br^– electrode reaction with tribromide complex formation reaction in the solution, a chemical-electrochemical (C-E) type reaction, has been investigated in order to determine the effect of the chemical reaction on the electrode kinetics. It is shown that the chemical reaction has little effect on the electrode kinetics at very slow homogeneous reaction rates, but has a more drastic effect on the electrode kinetics at faster homogeneous reaction rates. Also, the kinetics at the electrode are affected by changes in the concentrations of the active species (Br₂, Br^–, and Br₃^–) …

Modeling The Rotating Disk Electrode For Studying The Kinetics Of Electrochemical Reactions, P K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White, S E. Lorimer

Faculty Publications

A general mathematical model for studying the kinetics of electrochemical reactions at a rotating disk electrode under steady-state potentiostatic conditions is presented. The model, apart from predicting the net and partial current densities at given values of the applied potential, the ohmic potential drop, and the concentration and potential profiles in the solution, also accounts for homogeneous reactions of any order in the solution and noncharge transfer reactions at the electrode surface. The versatility of the model is demonstrated by the application of the model to a variety of complex reaction schemes.

A Mathematical Model Of A Zinc/Bromine Flow Cell, T. I. Evans, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for a zinc/bromine flow cell. The model includes a thin porous layer on the bromine electrode and a porous separator. The independent parameters of the porous layer are defined, and their effect on cell performance during charge and discharge is investigated. The dependence of the round trip energy efficiency on the thickness of the porous layer and mode of discharge is presented. The predictions of the model show that a maximum round trip energy efficiency of 70% should be possible under the design conditions considered.

Simulation Of The Polarization Curves For Oxygen Reduction At A Rotating Disk Electrode, P. K. Adanuvor, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The electrochemical reduction of oxygen in 1M NaOH solution is simulated at a rotating disk electrode. Steady-state polarization curves are presented for possible reaction schemes for the reduction process. The effect of changes in the kinetic parameters on the polarization curves is demonstrated and special attention is focused on the production of hydrogen peroxide.

Utility Of An Empirical Method Of Modeling Combined Zero Gap/Attached Electrode Membrane Chlor-Alkali Cells, Clifford W. Walton, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

An extensive survey of the Docktor-Ingenieur Dissertationen of Jakob Jörissen and Klaus-R. Menschig, both originally from the Universität Dortmund, is presented in regard to the empirical modeling of membrane chlor-alkali cells and how it can be applied to a combined zero gap/attached porous electrode layer membrane cell. Particular emphasis isplaced on Menschig's work on zero gap (ZG) and attached porous electrode layer (APEL) membrane chlor-alkali cells, the first such research to appear in the open literature. Menschig developed various computer programs to characterize these ZG and APEL membrane chlor-alkali cells. He characterized these cells by using the following parameters: the …
